I noticed that some USB-printers, e.g. Canon PIXMA iP3000 don't add
their serial number to the IEEE-1284 device ID string as expected by
userspace apps like cups.
Because of this, connecting multiple printers of the same type to a
system does not work properly.
This patch adds the usb serial number to the device ID if it is left
out by the printer.
This patch applies to kernel 2.6.18.
